Our Heritage

Our Brand

Who we are: Born and brewed in Southern California since 1963, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is the oldest and largest privately-held specialty coffee and tea retailer in the United States. Fifty years on, our values haven't changed. "Find Your Flavor"
isn't just a slogan; it's a commitment to our customers and the foundation upon
which we operate. Our handcrafted beverages are made to order and customized to
the guest's preference. Our Team Members know to listen and respond to each guest
with a personalized beverage. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf offers one of the
most extensive selections of coffee and tea from around the world.

FIFTY YEARS IN THE MAKING

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was born during a trip our founders Herb and Mona
Hyman took to Europe. After enjoying outstanding coffee throughout Europe, the
couple decided to bring the specialty coffeehouse concept to America. The Coffee
Bean & Tea Leaf was established in 1963, opening their first store in Brentwood,
California which continues to operate to this day.

Over the next 35 years, the Hymans continued to grow the coffee business and share
their passion throughout Southern California. Unique flavors and handcrafted beverages
became the cornerstones of their business. They carefully roasted and blended the
beans to suit their guests' tastes. These personalized creations have been used
in formulating some of our popular and enduring blends still offered in our cafes
today.
